Review: Jollibee's Strawberry Sundae

There's a treat here at The Enterprise in Makati. People get to have a free Strawberry Sundae from Jollibee. 

My colleagues & I got so intrigued about the long queue so we decided to join. Free sundae pala yun. 

So here's my review about it. I think it's not too sweet. I like how the vanilla flavor blended with the strawberry flavor. Sakto lang. Plus the strawberry flavoring is not just a syrup. You can feel in your mouth teh rough texture which is actually strawberry seeds & bits. 

Sarap! I want more!! 

23rd Birthday

I'm blogging to keep memories and feelings alive. So I should at least post something about my birthday right? 

Last August 26th (Friday) was my 23rd birthday...and there was nothing very special about it. I just asked for a Pancit ng taga Malabon delivery in the office and that's it. I didn't even get to eat it because it surprisingly had seafood(pusit, prawns and etc.) I shouldn't be eating seafood until my 'sugat' heals. So I was very hungry. Good thing my best buddy in the office named Tina noticed it and bought me Jollibee cheeseburger, large fries, choco sundae and soda. It actually was too much for me. She said she was supposed to buy me cake but she changed mind remembering that I was very hungry. How thoughtful of her. Thanks Tina ^__^ I will never forget your kindness and thoughtfulness to me.

Then the next day August 27th (Saturday), I decided to treat 2 of my college friends (Pau and te Rea) at Chef  d' Angelo. I heard they have an Eat All You Can promo and I didn't want to miss the chance to try out their dishes.For 150.00 pesos per person, you can already choose among the pasta, pizza, salad and soup dishes available in  the buffet table. 

For more info about this promo, here's a picture I downloaded from their site.

We decided to meet at 2:30pm at SM Fairview... while waiting for the two, I remembered the combination we made. ME, Pau and te Rea are very notorious latecomers of the class. The 3 of us were like competing for the 'Latest' Latecomer Awardee of the class back in college. When I say late, it's not only minutes. I'm talking about hours tardiness. So just imagine how farther from 2:30pm we were all able to settle in the place.

6:30pm.

Don't ask.

Availing the promo was quite easy. 

1. Go to the counter. 

2. Pay the total amount 

3. Get a wristband like the one below and you're good to eat as much as you like. 

But of course, there are rules like No Sharing, No Left Over & No Take Out or they will charge you DOUBLE the price.

I asked for the menu pero di naman pala namin magagamit. 

The buffet table was just behind Pau who was clad in red jacket. 

 Pasta, pizza & salad. yum! yum! yum! I had about 2 1/2 servings of this. For pasta you can choose between the spaghetti and carbonara sauce to go with your pasta noodles. There were only two options for pizza. I must say they all tasted really good. It was a right combination.

 As you can see, we had no problems about the promo rules.

We stayed there for almost 4 hours chatting about the latest chismis about our batchmates and alma mater. And I was so surprised to hear some tsismis from long time ago. I didn't get the chance to hear all about them back in college because I was always too busy with work and thesis. 

So that's how my birthday went. I forgot to mention that was something really special about this birthday. I got to realize how blessed I was with everything so I don't have the right to complain. But still, my 20th birthday is the most special. That was when my office crush surprisingly gifted me with something so sweet. 

eeeh! Ang landi! 

Let's enjoy life! 

MyPhone Q19i Review

You see guys I posted here that I lost my old MyPhone phone last June 10 and I'm just able to buy a new unit just last August 15th. So in short I've been 'disconnected' for more than 2 months. (pity me T.T) Anyway, nadala na ko so here I am resorting to really cheap phones.

I just bought this MyPhone Q19i phone and I wanna share my experience with it.

I bought the unit for 1,388.00 pesos (promo) in one of MyPhone stalls in Robinsons Novaliches. The sales lady persuaded me to buy an acetate so the total became 1,500 pesos for a unit with acetate.

This is the promo I was telling you about.

Here are the specifications and features:

[Just click the image to enlarge]

The unit comes with:

*a box (of course)

*earphone

*charger

*warranty card

* unit manual

Available in:

*white

*red

*bright yellow (not advisable since it would just attract much attention from ominous people lurking around)

*blue

*brown (my unit)

Make sure that before the sales person opens this box in front of you the seal is not broken or tampered.

I chose brown so as not to attract ominous eyes.

Here's when you open the box.

I see it's working.

The unit manuals (very thin and I must say it's not so detailed.)

Let me just enumerate the things that I noticed.

GOOD

1. It has a loud/clear speaker

2. It's light weight.

3. camera is decent enough

4. Designating an image on contacts doesn't actually work

5. Has specific buttons in calling through sim 1 or sim 2

BAD

1. The fully-charged battery doesn't last long in normal use. You see I don't use phones for a long time. But I was wondering why the battery easily ran out.

2. Charging takes a long time. I once charged my unit for 1 1/2 hour but the 'battery bar' was still the same.

3. Parang 'naghang' siya ng nanoseconds when you just click once button.

4. FM Radio recorder is a little blurred.

A piece of advice: Ask for a receipt. Most stalls don't issue receipts. They say the WARRANTY SLIP will do. Don't settle for this. Ask for any kind of receipt indicating their stall name signed by the sales person.

So there you go! For questions just leave a message on the COMMENT box below.

This is the first time I made a review for a specific product and I think it's fun. Maybe I'll do this again next time.
